Greetings, We regret to inform you that your data has been encrypted by Mesmerised Locker as part of a sophisticated global attack utilizing zero-day exploits. We understand that this situation is stressful and are here to guide you through the recovery process. What Happened: Encryption: Your files have been secured using state-of-the-art encryption algorithms: ChaCha20, AES-256, and RSA-4096. These methods are recognized for their high security and are employed by governments and institutions worldwide. Detailed information on these encryption methods can be found here: - ChaCha20: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salsa20 - AES-256: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard - RSA-4096: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem) Data Theft: In addition to encryption, we have exfiltrated sensitive data, including personal messages and confidential information. Our Intentions: Decryption Offer: To demonstrate our capability to restore your data, we are willing to decrypt 2-3 files at no cost. Payment: To obtain the decryption key for your data, we request a payment of $50 or an equivalent item. This fee reflects the scale and complexity of our operation. How to Proceed: 1. Contact Us: To initiate communication, use session ID 050126e07b2964020ad7242a12a63a3476f22a3956877fd8a7f2d3a01bb1140759. Download the Session app from https://getsession.org to contact us securely. 2. Payment: Upon establishing contact, we will provide instructions for making the payment. Once the payment is confirmed, we will supply the decryption key and detailed instructions for data recovery. Consequences of Non-Compliance: Data Exposure: Failure to comply with our demands will result in the dissemination of your sensitive data to your contacts and potentially the public. Data Loss: Attempting to use third-party tools for decryption may result in irreversible data loss. Our advanced encryption methods ensure that recovery is impossible without the correct decryption key. System Integrity: Restoring your PC using a bootable drive or cloud service will be ineffective. Our bootkits are designed to persist on your system. More information on bootkits can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootkit Even if you attempt to reset your PC, the remote access tool (RAT) and rootkit we have installed will enable us to maintain control. For more details on rootkits, visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit. Scam Warning: Beware of third-party services that claim they can decrypt your data. Independent research will confirm that decrypting ransomware is infeasible without the correct key. Once we receive your payment, the decryptor will be provided to you immediately. Sincerely, Mesmerised Locker Team
